TRENTON – A Trenton man who became involved in an argument while drinking with other men outside an apartment building early Tuesday suffered a stab wound that left part of his intestines protruding from his stomach, police said.

The victim, whose age was not available, was in stable condition at Capital Health Regional Medical Center.

Police said the stabbing happened just before 2:30 a.m. The victim had been drinking with a group of men outside his apartment building on the first block of South Broad Street.

While two men who also lived in the building went back inside, the victim went off with four men who allegedly stole his wallet and stabbed him, police said.

Though the victim initially identified his two neighbors as the assailants and police took both down to headquarters for questioning, the investigation determined the suspects were still at large. The case remains open.

Anyone with information on the crime should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.
